Visited to watch a local singer perform. Singer was outstanding as expected. Staff where particularly rude including the manager. It was very clear at around 830 that they just wanted everyone to leave. Such a shame as food was good. Won't be returning. less

We hadn't booked anyway in Salisbury, but ended up here as they still had a room available, Price was £123 double B&B.
The smell of garlic in the hotel reception was over powering and the long walk all corridors to our room was reminiscent of visiting my Husbands Granny in a nursing home, similar smell too!
However our room was exceedingly pleasant, lots of character but modern and clean, excellent shower and tea/coffee facilities were great with a cafetiere. There is a lift but old and creaky, carpet on the walls, very 70's. Only used it once, it was difficult to find. Breakfast was fine but the dining room is also stuck in a time warp and the smell was still lingering in reception. No parking but a car park very near and very well situated for a walk around Salisbury.less
